Chapter 13 Groups

13.3.2 Group Names

Enter a group name from 1 to 32 characters. The first character must be alphabetical (case insensitive, [A-Z a-z]); numeric characters are not allowed as the first character.

The group name can only contain the following characters:

•Alphanumeric A-z 0-9. Unicode usernames are supported with CIFS logins, but not FTP or web configurator logins.

•Spaces

•_ [underscores]

•. [periods]

•- [dashes]

Other limitations on group names are:

•All leading and trailing spaces are removed automatically.

•Multiple spaces within names are converted to a single space.

•Group names are case insensitive. The group name cannot be the same (no matter the letter case) as an existing group. For example, if a group exists with the name 'FAMILY', you cannot create a group named 'family'.

•The group name cannot be the same as a system group name such as EVERYONE nor be the same as an existing group. Other reserved groups names that are not allowed are:

•nobody

•root

•everyone
